Title: Boost gauge feed
Post by: Winston on May 03, 2011, 04:03:30 pm

One more question if you please.

Would it be possible for me to take my boost gauge reading from the one way valve for my servo or will that be to weak?

My problem is the hose bores are a different size on acctuator piping.

Thanks again
Winston

I took mine off about 2" before the ECU. You can get T-pieces that vary in size/ diameter. Try a pet shop/ garden centre in the aquarium section to avoid paying daft prices, should be less than £1

what do you mean by "from the one way valve"?  You can't put it on the servo side of this valve as it only ever sees vacuum there.

My one way valve has about 4 feeds that are blocked off manifold side... I will get a picture.

I think it came from a Corrado... It was just one I had lay about.

Good idea on the garden centre shout ;D
